Trillium Arts is delighted to welcome three individual artists from around the country in October and November! The awarded artists are working in a variety of disciplines and will each have a solo week in the Firefly Creek apartment to rejuvenate and further their creative endeavors. They were selected from an application pool based on their artistic merit and the quality of the exciting projects they will further while here at Trillium. We can’t wait to see what grows out of these residencies this fall!

I’m so looking forward to a mentally clear week at Trillium Arts Residency to attack the very messy “to-do” list on my current work-in-progress, a historical young adult novel set in 1924 Old Chinatown and new Hollywood. The residency will be my first, and without all the distractions of normal life, I’m hoping to make some very real headway into the second draft.

This September, the three-year journey of Ask the River, a river-honoring community art-making and public art project, culminates in my partners and I installing a 32’x80’ kinetic sculpture and guiding community members in unfurling hundreds of yards of community-made silk cyanotype banners at the banks of the Connecticut River. In my residency at Trillium, I’m excited to use the wisdom gained in these years and the cyanotype photographic process that I’ve been sharing with and teaching others to go inward, to explore connections between my body, the paths of water within and outside it, and the trees around me. A question underlying this exploration: how do I navigate my impact on our changing climate?

I hope to begin to reconnect with who I am apart from work and family. Somewhere along the way I lost the thread. I refer to my work as a collaboration with nature and it is through that collaboration, making art from scavenged bits, that I process the stuff of life. At Trillium I look forward to exploring a new landscape and to taking the advantage of the rare gift of time.
